Final Paper Assignment: This assignment is a primary source analysis combined with a critical history essay.
Please choose a primary source document from 1859-1900 and use it to do the following:
-Suggested outline:
introductory paragraph, including your thesis, which should be highlighted.
paragraph summarizing primary source set and its relevance to abolition democracy.
-Discussion of author's approach and strategies
For this section, you should consider the form of the document (newspaper article, letter, speech, etc.), along with the message or argument and the way the author approaches the topic.
-Who is the intended audience?
It is not appropriate to dismiss a writer because s/he is "biased" about a subject. We all have biases! Your task is to evaluate the writer's point of view, then analyze the document accordingly.
-Discussion of the significance of the source in its social, historical and cultural context
What does the source tell us about the experiences of Black Americans during this era?
How does this author and source fit in the broader context of the readings and films?
How does this reflect or contradict the histories, lectures and films of this era?
How might regional, class, race/ethnicity considerations be reflected in the source set?
This is your opportunity to show you have done the readings, paid attention in class and understand what we are trying to do here. In other words, show us how much you know.
concluding paragraph
-Remember, this course is about Black History from 1800-1900. Your paper should reflect that.
